Asahikawa Memorial Country Club is a 7,155-yard, par 72 championship course located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The 18-hole layout is set within a vast forested area on significant terrain, featuring a strategic design that utilizes the natural elevation changes of the land. The course is situated approximately 15 minutes by car from Asahikawa Station and 36 minutes from Asahikawa Airport, with convenient access from the Dohoku Expressway.
